Okay, Light the Candles!

Today I'm sharing the birthday card I recently made for my son-in-law.  Like most fire fighters, he loves his department and the work they do for their town.  

I selected Beccy's Place, Wheels digital stamp set for his special card. 

After sizing the truck to just under 4" long, I did all the coloring with my Copic markers.   I used a light green 5 1/2" card base, and added the yellow background matting first.  Then I secured the 1 1/2" vertical strip of lit candles.  I cut the red mat and the image using Memory Box, Matinee Rectangle dies.

Since I wanted a lot of the red to show I slightly tilted the red and image until I got them where I wanted.  

Once I was sure I was through with the design, then I carefully added glossy accents to the front and side windows.  I allowed this to set and dry overnight before getting it ready for mailing. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
